guilty of putting cheap gas in mine... :(
but at $2.30/gal here in So.Cal...I wouldn't be able to drive it if I shot for higher quality.

But I have an idea for the "extended 11-20" list:
Thou shalt never, NEVER, create or ever consider buying one of those sad sad butchered up fugly vettes for sale on ebay.

Just a thought.

Somewhere in the top 25 has to be:
"Thou shalt not drive with the windows up if the top is down."

I try to make it very clear to her that I"M THE BOSS, but she often shows me who's the one who ultimately ends up getting her way.
